Fine dining restaurant located in the heart of Chicago's historic Uptown neighborhood. Brass Heart offers a 10-course experience for both vegans and omnivores. Chef Matt Kerney's elegant and ambitious tasting menu is not to be missed.

Excellent food in a perfect atmosphere with perfect service. Truly a unique dining experience. The value on the food is exceptionally great in my mind. Wine seemed rather costly. Anyways - in case you want to celebrate something, I can highly recommend the Brass Heart.

Let me start with this - the food was amazing and the service was very good. When confirming the reservation, we were asked about food allergies/aversions. Chef did make alterations to my dessert course to accommodate my palate. My reason for the low rating has to do with the experience. I booked this reservation several weeks in advance to celebrate my husband's birthday. We were expecting to have a 9 course meal with wine pairings. When we arrived and were seated, we found out the menu was a special 'restaurant week' menu with only three courses and wine/cocktails by the glass and off the special menu. There was no indication on the web site nor was this mentioned when making the reservation or confirming the reservation. Very disappointing when you expect to have a long wonderful meal to celebrate a special occasion.

My boyfriend and I went for restaurant week - he ordered the omnivore and I had the vegan. We both could not stop talking about how wonderful everything was! The service was fantastic as well, we can’t wait to go back for a date night to try their full tasting menu! Would strongly recommend!!

I was visiting from out of town, and wanted to find a Michelin m-starred restaurant for a nice dinner with an old friend. Basically, the food was good, but hardly exceptional, and wildly expensive. And that’s coming from someone very accustomed to Michelin-star quality restaurants. The restaurant was almost completely deserted, with only one other couple present... which meant very good service. But, the overall ambience suffered for not having the feel of a thriving restaurant; it was chilly both literally and figuratively. Normally the ambiance alone would not deter me from a positive impression, but unfortunately the food did not make up for the overall experience. I applaud intrepid chefs and the investment in creating a new restaurant and earning a Star, but this meal fell far short of expectations.

This was the perfect spot to celebrate my husband's birthday on a Saturday evening. Brass Heart thoughtfully offers 9 and 12-course tasting menus in both omnivore and vegan versions. We both had the 12-course omnivore menu. It was a flavorful and thoughtfully-curated celebration of tastes. Standouts were a tangy cheese tart with pear and plum, a delicious "bun" with ripe plantains and oxtail, and a Spanish-style risotto, and a chocolate semi-freddo with truffle ice cream. Service was excellent (friendly and helpful without being overbearing), and the setting was intimate and comfortable. A good wine list and a well-stocked bar enhanced the experience. It's not a place we can afford to go to everyday, but I hope to return soon.

It was a wonderful experience, from the great food, beautiful presentation, and thoughtful wine pairings, to a sophisticated and friendly staff that made you feel very special. I even got to talk to the chef. The space is classy and comfortable, with great photography adorning the walls, especially the Chicago policeman. All in all, this is a beautiful restaurant, and to have it in the neighborhood, is really special.

We had a lovely birthday celebration. We each had the 9 course omnivore, and it was just the right amount of food. Service was well paced. The restaurant is very intimate. We enjoyed all of our courses; the beans and rice course was a pleasant surprise.

This was our second time dining here and it was wonderful. The place is very small and intimate and great for conversation. The food is excellent but the wine pairings were among the best that we have had. The sommelier is just fabulous. Worth a trip for a special occasion.

Brass Heart is astounding. From the ambiance to the exceptional food and service, it is unbeatable in Chicago! The cordial and gracious staff are a sharp contrast to other acclaimed restaurants in our city. Very highly recommended !

Great dining experience. Warm and professional service. Elegant and comfortable space. Each course was beautifully presented. Delicious flavors. Talented chefs. They deserve Michelin stars. Chicago should be proud for having this caliber of restaurant. Highly recommended.

My daughter and I love this restaurant. It was our second time there and it did not disappoint. Food is great and the staff is friendly. The only complaint I have is that, when the bill came, I was told that an 18% tip was already added to the bill, so I didn't check the calculation (My bad). I added more to make it 20% but when I calculated it the next day, a 20% tip had actually been added, not the 18% as I had been told. Lesson learned

Truly a first class dining experience! Get the 9 course meal or you'll be hungry. Service was spectacular. Try the different wines and talk to the sommelier, who picks interesting wines from small vineyards and knows the story behind every bottle.

A fabulous 5 star dining experience. The service was top notch. Friendly without pretense. Every bite of the 5 star dinner was craveable. Can't wait to go back. We had both the ominivore and vegan tastings. The vegan food was truly inspired. The ominivore dishes were rich and creative without being overly heavy. The wine pairing was spot on. My favorite bites were the sweetbreads with cumquats and the vegan artichoke and spinage tart.

The entire staff from Chef Kerney’s kitchen A-team to the front of the house worked so well together to deliver a highly memorable, approachable and well curated tasting menu experience. The wine list is well curated with multiple price points if you opt out of the wine pairing. The vegan tasting menu looked as enviable, as our 9 course omnivore classic. It was at once unpretentious and Michelin Star worthy for the creative and beautifully plated courses, each one had memorable facets, so we look forward to the next menu change. Highly recommended for a special night out, or a night out to experience and experiment with fine dining.
